Film Spider-Man: Homecoming

Who do we think might have bought Stark Tower? I understand many of us would want to go with Oscorp, but let's try exploring other options.

This movie was practically a comedy. Lots of funny scenes all over the place. That's how they should be making most of their superhero movies from here on out, I think. It was actually fun to watch.

The villain seemed like he'd be pretty dull from the trailers - I don't even know if he's from the comics originally or not - but he turned out to have a decent story and development that was actually relevant and tied into the rest of the story. Didn't see the reveal of him as Liz's father, though they were dropping hints all over the place.

I really really liked this. Certainly one of my favorite MCU and probably superhero movies. It was a nice break from the huge-scale Marvel fights to see a small-scale hero and small-scale villain. It was also not at all serious and pretty funny - I really liked Stark's line "You're lucky this place has Wi-Fi kid, or you'd be toast.". My favorite scene overall might actually have been when Peter's in the car with Liz and The Vulture - that was such a tense scene and it was cool to see him gradually realize Spider-Man's identity from the clues Liz drops. It's a scene that was obviously very adapted from the Green Goblin realizing the same thing in Spider-Man 1, but that doesn't make it any less enjoyable.

My one issue isn't even really an issue with this movie, it's about how it fits into the larger Marvel context; this movie pretty much throws away the moral conflict of Civil War. Spider-Man to me seems way more like he'd be a Captain America ideology superhero from what this movie shows us of his personality. He's on Iron Man's side so Tony can give him the suit and later the Iron Spider armor as a test, but according to the laws governing superheroes - Socovia Accords or whatever they're called - the government should totally be arresting Peter, and Tony for helping him.
